Item Texas Gulf Shoreline From the Rio Grand Northward to the Mansfield Jetties(The University of Texas at Austin, 1973) Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at AustinItem Characteristics of Gulf Beaches; Mustang Island and North Padre Island, Texas(The University of Texas at Austin, 1973) Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at AustinItem Probability of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Conditions: A User's Guide for Local Decision Makers(United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1983-06) Carter, T. MichaelThe purpose of this manual is to explain in detail what these probabilities represent, how they are computed, how they should be interpreted, and how they can be most effectively utilized in decision making for such preparatory actions such as evacuation, setting up shelters, or industrial plant shutdowns.Item Beach Replenishment: The National Solution?(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987-05) Pilkey, Orrin H.; Clayton, Tonya D.Item Realistic Economic Benefits from Beach Nourishment(1988-09) Dean, Robert G.A method is presented and illustrated with examples to establish appropriate storm damage reduction and recreational benefits from beach nourishment projects. Unlike previous methods, benefits to project adjacent areas are recognized due to sand transport out of the project area and deposition on adjacent beaches. Assuming homogeneity along the shoreline, the character of storm damage reduction and recreational benefit relationships are such that sand transported from a project area and deposited on adjacent beaches always results in an increase rather than a reduction in benefits is the establishment of a proportional damage curve for upland structures as a function of beach width and storm return period.Item Coastal Zone Management(1990-04) Gilbert, J.; Vellinga, P.Item Numerical Formulation and Model Tests(1990-05) Larson, Magnus; Kraus, Nicholas C.; Byrnes, Mark R.This report is the second in a series on the numerical model SBEACH (Storm-induced BEAch CHange). SBEACH calculates dune and beach erosion produced by storm waves and water levels; bar formation and movement produced by breaking waves are also simulated. The model is empirically based and was originally developed from a large data set of net cross-shore sand transport rates and beach profile change observed in large tanks. The empirical formulation, model sensitivity tests, and a field validation case are described in Report 1. In the present report, Report 2, the capability of the model to simulate berm and dune erosion Is evaluated using recently acquired field data from both US east and west coasts. Hypothetical storm events are also simulated to demonstrate model applicability and potential uses for predicting initial adjustment of beach fill and its response to storm action, including post storm recovery. In addition to describing the field tests, Report 2 provides a complete description of the mathematical formulation of the model and numerical algorithms comprising the solution scheme. Improvements of the model are also presented. The associated wave model has been generalized by using complete linear wave theory everywhere on the profile without shallow-water approximations, a capability important in general applications for irregular bottom profiles subjected to waves of widely ranging characteristics. Refraction has been included, and an option is provided to randomize the wave input for better representing forcing conditions in the field.Item The Galveston District: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers(U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1992) U.S. Army Engineer District, GalvestonItem Engineering Work to be Performed for the Beach Nourishment Project at the Galveston Seawall Boulevard(City of Galveston, Texas, 1992-11-14) Dr. Y. H. Wang, P. E.Item Coastal Engineering and Oceanography Study for the Beach Nourishment Project Galveston, Texas(1992-12-03) Dr. Y. H. Wang, P. E.Item Hurricane Wave Damage Prevention and Beach Erosion Control for Grand Isle, Louisiana(1993) Combe, Adrian J. IIIThe author discusses the construction history of the project and summarizes hurricane damages since construction. Project costs are presented. He then gives a brief overview of coastal processes at Grand Isle, which hopefully contribute to an understanding of the design and whether a similar design could be used elsewhere along the coast of Louisiana. Possible future modifications of the project using stone breakwaters to protect the sand fill are described.Item Storm Impact Assessment for Beaches at Panama City, Florida(U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1994-09) Farrar, Paul D.; Borgman, Leon E.; Glover, Lanny B.; Reinhard, Robin D.; Pope, Joan; Swain, Abhimanyu; Ebersole, Bruce A.Item EUROSION Case Study Lakkopetra (Greece)(Eurosion, 1995) Spyropoulos, KyriakosThe western coast of Greece faces many forms of erosion. Addressing these issues are the only way to preserve the shores of the island nation.Item Reducing the Impacts of Coastal Hazards(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 1998) Ward, Sandy; Main, CatherineItem Geotubes for Temporary Erosion Control and Storm Surge Protection Along Gulf of Mexico Shoreline of Texas(2001) Gibeaut, J.C.; Hepner, T.; Gutierrez, R.; Waldinger,R.; Smyth, R.; Andrews, J.L.;No abstract availableItem Saving Florida's Vanishing Shores(EPA, 2002-03) EPAItem The Corps of Engineers and Shore Protection(U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Institute for Water Resources, 2003-05) Hillyer, Theodore M.Item Most Are Affected by Flooding and Erosion, but Few Qualify for Federal Assistance(United States General Accounting Office, 2003-12) United States General Accounting OfficeItem Coastal Protection and Development Planning Guidelines for Bermuda(Smith Warner International, 2004-11) Smith Warner International Coastal & Environmental EngineeringItem Coastal and Marine Environments(Environmental State and Trends: 20 Year Retrospective, 2005) Arthurton, Russell; Korateng, Kwame
